I forgot how goddamn slow this movie was. It's way too up in its a*s about the visions. So much [Sad Lamentation Music] going on. The desert shots were cool It was a snoozfest to be honest. I just watched in the background while doing something else & then read the synopsis online. Let’s see how Dune 2 is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ne0 Posted February 26, 2024 Report Share Posted February 26, 2024 (edited) Saw couple of oscar winning movies, surprised to see that Sony Liv has a decent collection of movies : - The Help (Sony Liv): Drama depicting the life of black house maids set around the era of segregation in the Deep South (Mississipi). I think everyone played their roles to perfection, but I felt the performance of Bryce Dallas Howard (as the main antagonist) eclipsed everybody else's. I think she deserved it more than Octavia spencer (who won the award for best supp actress eventually). - Green Book (Sony Liv) : Stars Viggo Mortensen and Mahershrala Ali, I mean what could go wrong ! Again, set around the segregation era, it's apparently inspired by the true story of a black musician who tours the deep south with an Italian bodyguard/driver to protect him. Watching the above movies, I can understand to some extent on the popular inclusive culture trend thats ongoing in the US (often regarded as woke culture by some) and the intense protests like the black lives matter movements. I think those guys have suffered a lot through the ages (despite being in a first world country). Edited February 26, 2024 by Ne0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you are planning on watching it 2 times on theatre then it’s better to reserve IMAX for 2nd viewing otherwise you may not be able to enjoy the experience.

roun90 Posted February 29, 2024 Report Share Posted February 29, 2024 Movie is almost 3 hours long! 2nd viewing will not have as huge an impact as the first! I would say wait and watch on IMAX. 2nd viewing can be on normal/OTT/Blu-Ray depending on how much you liked the movie. As a bonus - waiting for a couple of days might also reduce the price of tickets!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because then you won’t feel like watching it 2nd time because of the relatively lower quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achilles Posted March 2, 2024 Report Share Posted March 2, 2024 (edited) We'd been waiting to screen Sam Bahadur for a while now, as we missed it in theatres because of Animal. What a sad little thing this.. thing is. It makes no sense, has no feeling, no progression, no character development, and has inanely useless supporting characters. The score is abysmal, rest of the music isn't much better. With such rich content and Talvaar's director Meghna Gulzar at the helm, I expected a real engrosser. It is so poorly made that it feels more like a home movie or a series of tik-toks spliced together, rather than a cinematic thing. Vicky Kaushal's performance is completely wasted. On the plus side, Zee5 on Apple TV uses the tvOS platform UI which was a pleasant surprise. However it defaulted to 2.1 sound so Zee5 does Zee5. Ha! 0.5/5; ugh.

Unreal Posted March 2, 2024 Report Share Posted March 2, 2024 Dune Part 2 is seriously good! I haven't seen anything like it before! I say it as someone who found the first one to be incredibly boring, unmoving and even a bit unoriginal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanjosh Posted March 2, 2024 Report Share Posted March 2, 2024 (edited) Saw Dune 2. Good movie. There's actually a climax here unlike the last one lol. The story I enjoyed - if I had the time I would have read the books Edited March 2, 2024 by dylanjosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler The moment at the end where Paul tells the smug Bene Geressit lady to "SILENCE" is so satisfying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
